Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 139 But I Don't Want to Get Married

……

A cold wind blew, snowflakes fluttered, bare branches swayed gently, and the remaining snow that had accumulated between the treetops last night fell softly.

When Li Wu chased downstairs.

I just happened to see it—

Yan Xuting threw the bouquet of roses and breakfast in the trash can.

The fallen rose petals were particularly striking against the backdrop of the white snow.

Li Wu stood a few steps behind Yan Xuting and did not come forward.

It quieted down.

Li Wu still took the initiative to explain, "He drank too much last night and was lying against the corner of the wall outside the door... He's helped me a lot before, I can't... I can't just abandon him. I thought he'd leave once he sobered up, but then... then he fell asleep... He slept on the sofa all night..."

Despite the intermittent murmur, Yan Xuting still managed to understand.

She helped Zhou Jinghuai into the house last night because he had helped her a lot before, and she couldn't abandon him.

and.

Nothing happened between them last night.

He believed what Li Wu said.

He knew better than anyone else what kind of person she was over the past seven years.

Back when they were abroad, there were many more men who were more powerful, influential, and outstanding than him who were pursuing her.

But she remained focused on her studies and showed no interest whatsoever.

Not to mention.

When they first met, she was even willing to kneel down and perform first aid on an elderly stranger.

Even though they know deep down that nothing will happen between them given their current relationship.

But when he heard that they had spent the night in the same room, Yan Xuting couldn't suppress the strange, angry, and even slightly painful emotions that welled up in his heart.

"so--"

Yan Xuting stared intently at Li Wu with his deep, dark eyes. His clear, deep voice sounded particularly cold in the wind, "Will you not stand idly by if anything happens to him in the future?" "He is your white moonlight, your favorite." Yan Xuting gave a self-deprecating laugh, "And I am nothing."

It turns out that he had lost completely from the very beginning.

The surroundings were deathly silent, with only the biting cold wind blowing.

Li Wu's eyelashes trembled slightly. After a long silence, she finally moved her lips and managed to utter a few words with difficulty, "I'm sorry."

"sorry?"

Yan Xuting's lips curled into a cold, sarcastic smile. "Those three words again, 'I'm sorry... I'm sorry...' You have nothing else to say to me besides those three words, is that it?"

Yan Xuting looked at Li Wu, who was standing there and seemed somewhat at a loss after hearing his words.

Because of the cold, her lips turned bluish-green and her face turned pale and cold in just a few minutes in the snow.

After a few seconds of silence.

Li Wu raised her eyes and met Yan Xuting's cold and indifferent gaze, leaving her no choice but to look directly at him.

Amidst the blanket of snow, she looked frail and delicate, her voice soft, "I can't absolutely guarantee what will happen in the future..." She paused for a few seconds before continuing, "I can't absolutely guarantee what will happen in the future."

"However, give me time, and I will slowly forget..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Wu gradually fell silent.

Because she knew in her heart that no matter how many years passed, she could never forget Zhou Jinghuai.

There was silence between heaven and earth.

Yan Xuting stared at Li Wu for a while before slowly asking, "Do you still want to marry me?"

Li Wu hesitated.

See this.

Yan Xuting suppressed all his emotions and said with a low laugh, "But I don't want to get married, Lili."

Yan Xuting's voice was very low, as if he had lost all his strength, so low that it was indistinct, yet he spoke each word clearly, "I don't want to get married."
